2,000 or 7,300 in attendance; either way that's a chunk of folks for a daytime rally on a Monday.

I think she's gonna win this thing. But why couldn't she just use the name "Gibbs" to make it easier?

Pray for freezing rain in Pittsburgh, Philly, St.Louis and K.C. on Nov. 7.

Oh, yeah - I don't disagree on that. Nice rally, but bigger is better, especially if it's the truth.

We're hoping "Gibbs" will count as a vote, since none of the other possible write-ins could be confused with that - however, it's still a matter of interpretation of the "voter's intent" - and you know how that goes sometimes.

The exact rule is vague, in that it doesn't tell us which variants of her name will be acceptable, or even specifically whether "Gibbs" alone will count.

She was Sekula even when she was married to Sylvan Rodriguez, well-liked local TV anchor who fought a very public and very valiant battle against cancer - which was what brought her to the public eye initially.

After he died, she got into politics and has remarried. She is a doctor and was well known to patients by the Sekula name, so has to keep it out front for recognition.

"Shelley Gibbs" doesn't instantly bring her to mind like Sekula does, relating to her medical practice and her name as Sylvan's wife.

But why couldn't she just use the name "Gibbs" to make it easier? Because she is an idiot?
